you know how there was a whole thing about how people thought Adore was gonna be an acoustic album and others thought it would be electronic and billy was kind of like well it's neither actually
it would have been cool if the softer folky songs and the more electronic songs were separated into different stylistically cohesive releases, so there would be that continuation of the cyber goth thing that was explored with Eye and Tight Bite, which was a continuation of what started in the MCIS era anyway and then without Sven Borkborkbork's technical guruism, the folky songs would have more human emotion to make people feel sad, like sad songs are supposed to, instead of being lightened up by machines that will always be your friend |

I believe this would be bad. Adore is a bit of a cosmic gumbo and it's best not to mess with such concoctions |

Look at the "alt bands" on the Billboard Hot 100 the week Adore came out...you get Third Eye Blind, Verve Pipe, Marcy Playground, Garbage, etc. Otherwise the entire chart is dominated by boy bands, late-90s hip hop and Maria Carey shit. I only point this out to remind ourselves that in 1998, the music biz was still controlled by major labels that were riding the waves of commercial radio, MTV and getting a coveted spot on the Billboard Hot 100 to drive album sales. I'm sure Virgin was pissed at the time that Billy didn't put LMGTWTY or Waiting on the album...the two songs, along with Perfect, that were the most radio friendly and would've been really big hits at the time. |

God tier song
It’s about going mad for love. He’s singing these over the top couplets that would only sound romantic to a couple of birds who have lost the plot. It’s perfect. Eat sack, |

they do the same "lift-off" in the chorus as they do in "everlasting gaze" and kind of in "heavy metal machine"

I remember Arcane night music as a descriptor....
but billy was full of shit describing his music at the time (all the time) I still wonder how Machina sounds like the band Mountain. I remember him repeating that a few times. "next album, super influenced by Mountain. if you don't know 'em, check 'em out!" ???what? |
